Friendly Fire

Christopher H Ransom, Larry Hardison (Contributor), Daryl Jackson (Contributor)

A survivor's perspective of a deadly encounter with the New York City Police Department. Friendly Fire is a powerful story of choices, consequences, survival, and redemption. Christopher Ransom takes readers through a life marked by struggle, crime, incarceration, and a life-changing 2019 confrontation that left him seriously wounded and a police detective dead from friendly fire. Facing the consequences of his actions, Ransom reflects on responsibility, faith, mental health, education, and the possibility of becoming a different person. This book explores how quickly one decision can change a life, and how even after the darkest moments, a second chance can become the beginning of something meaningful.
